Apple TV+ 1980s-set dramedy ‘Physical’ will be getting another season
Produced for Apple TV+ by Tomorrow Studios, Physical follows the story of Sheila Rubin, a devoted housewife supporting her smart but controversial husband’s bid for state assembly. Sheila has her own set of complex problems to deal with behind closed doors relating to her self-image. She finds release in the world of aerobics.

In the announcement post, Michelle Lee, Director of Domestic Programming for Apple TV+, said that they cannot wait for viewers to “experience the next chapter in Sheila’s journey towards personal empowerment.”

We have been thrilled to see audiences around the world fall in love and feel seen by this show and we can’t wait for everyone to experience the next chapter in Sheila’s journey towards personal empowerment.”
